This post belongs to a series, and to understand what the series is about you should read the first post of this series. Now, the prophetic realm is a dimension in God, not a dimension in heaven or on earth. There are various dimensions in God, and the thing about maturing in God is that one can be maturity in one dimension and not mature in another.
This is just how we see it, we see some people maturing in the power dimension of God yet not maturing in virtue. And we see some people maturity in virtue yet not maturing in the power or prophetic dimension in God. Yes, it happens that way, we see it all over history. And sometimes we try to downplay certain dimension of God because of this. But no, every dimension of God is important. We are not making things better by downplaying one dimension of God in order to exalt the other.
It is not virtue that takes one to heaven, neither is it power or the prophetic. Rather it is by grace we are saved, and it is by grace any one of us would make heaven. As long as you are standing on grace—no matter what dimension you are more mature in—you will be counted worthy to inherit the kingdom. Learning to stand on grace is another topic on it own, but the point I am trying to make here is that we should not exalt one dimension of God and downplay the other. We should rather love all of God, want all of God, pursue all of God, and grow into all of God.
Every Christian should grow into maturity in the prophetic just like in the other dimensions of God. Growing in the prophetic is not meant for only those called into a prophetic office. In this series we would later explain the part/role of the prophets (those specifically called to the prophetic ministry) in the realm of the prophetic. Yes, the prophets have their special role, yet each one of us believer should grow into maturity in the prophetic.
God desire to have mature sons, and mature sons are those who have come into oneness with the Son. They attain this one in the process of exploring and growing in various dimensions in God. Although the dimensions of God is infinite, however as the sons pursue maturity in all the dimensions they know, all of a sudden they would come to that point of oneness with the Son. And when that happens, they are fully mature in all the dimensions of God in Christ. They are able to flow in any way that God wants to flow through them.
We want to become those mature sons that God desire, and that's why we are pursuing maturity in the prophetic as well as other dimensions of God. Now, back to our library analogy. When sons become mature in the prophetic they can easily access this library, they understand the fellowship of the Spirit of Truth, and by the Spirit they can navigate to every nook and cranny of the library. They know how to go through the book in the library and they can inquire and know anything.
"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." (1John 2:20).
The sons know all things not in their human brain. The human brain cannot contain that much knowledge. However, the sons know all things because they have access to this library where all of God's knowledge are available. God is omniscience, He knows all things. Therefore, all the knowledge of God is the knowledge of all things. The sons know all things by accessing this library, they can easily navigate the mind of God and draw out whatever knowledge they want.
